Chapter 26
C26 – To be Serious!
“Ding! The Small Spell you are observing is currently being analyzed.”
“Analysis complete. Small Spell: Tree Spirit (0/100000): Consumes a vast amount of mana to fully transform into a tree spirit.”
Choo Qin had never before heard the Upgrade System use the term “analyze.”
Though it lasted less than a second, it gave him a newfound respect for the Small Spell.
Qiao Guan’s aura grew increasingly menacing. To the naked eye, he appeared to have become a tree person. Yet, to those attuned to magic, he seemed like a green core, utterly insulating himself from the surrounding magical energies.
Without warning, a shadow darted by. Choo Qin, sensing danger, instinctively conjured an ice shield.
“Boom!”
The green blur collided violently with Choo Qin’s ice shield, shattering it to pieces.
Choo Qin, who had never before been injured in this world, was hurled several meters away!
“It’s the Small Spell! A Sorcerer is actually casting it!”
Even after Qiao Guan’s transformation into a tree person, the merchants and nobles remained, transfixed. High-level mage battles were rare, especially within the city.
Witnessing the transcendence of a life’s essence, they were spellbound.
“Is this the power of the Small Spell? Why do I feel an urge to bow in reverence?”
“Hahaha, that Loser Royal Highness is truly finished now. He won’t be able to withstand such damage.”

“Did you see him get blown away? The gap between an ordinary mage and a Sorcerer is substantial, and Elder Qiao is a venerable figure among Sorcerers!”
Jiaang Guangran, who had been through quite an ordeal after being frozen by Choo Qin and rescued by Qiao Guan, had just come to. But upon seeing Choo Qin being struck, he was so overwhelmed that he passed out once more.
”Cough, cough…”
Choo Qin felt sore all over. It took several casts of the Ultimate Healing Arts before he could fully recover and stand.
He hadn’t anticipated that the transformation through the Small Spell would feel like an ascension to a higher plane of existence.
“Again?”
In less than half a second, he sensed imminent danger once more. Qiao Guan’s presence intensified, having fully embraced his tree person form.
And this time, the target was his head!
Qiao Guan glared furiously, a strong intent to kill emanating from him for the first time!
He was intent on putting Choo Qin to death!
In truth, Choo Qin had been merciful up to this point.
He had only aimed to save face, humiliate his opponents a bit, and make some money.
Thus, he had never dealt a lethal blow to the guards, the novice sorcerer, or even Jiaang Guangran.
But now, Qiao Guan was actually trying to kill him?
“Hmph! You really think I’m scared of you?”
Choo Qin got serious as well. Since his opponent showed no mercy, there was no reason for him to hold back anymore!
“Come on, let’s fight! You think you’re the only one who can cast the Small Spell?”
He muttered under his breath, and the Small Spell Tree Spirit he had just learned leveled up, amassing 100,000 experience points, then 1,000,000, and finally 100,000,000.
It took a whopping 100,000,000 experience points to upgrade the Small Spell to its highest level!
On the skill panel, the name of the Small Spell had changed to “Small Spell: Everlasting Green!”
“Boom!”
Choo Qin closed his eyes, tuning into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as dark clouds amassed overhead.
A beam of pure green light bathed the area.
All around the Rain Listening Pavilion, and within a thousand-meter radius, green branches began to emerge.
They grew at an alarming rate, reaching nearly a hundred meters in height in less than ten seconds, towering over all of Long Song City!
”Roar!”
The branches converged, forming the vague outline of a giant – the very image of Choo Qin!
“You want my life? Did you think to ask me first?”
Next to Choo Qin’s towering form, Qiao Guan’s Tiny Treant seemed no more significant than an ant to a giant.
“Die!”
Qiao Guan couldn’t escape in time and was engulfed by the green light. Then, the vines descended upon him en masse.
The once formidable Elder Qiao was reduced to mere vine fodder.
The Sorcerer, Qiao Guan, met his end.
